I think most enterprises will react to the EOL of JDK 5. For example, when JDK 1.4 was EOL, almost all applications in a medium sized enterprise I worked in were on JDK 5 within a year. One limiting factor in uptake time was the maturity of appservers that supported the new JDK. In today's context, JDK 6 compatible appservers and frameworks have been available for over a year already, and past their .0 release. I agree that embracing infinispan would imply reasonably fresh thinking and already place it into a dev team who are probably already on JDK 6. I moreover doubt any enterprise would issue a policy enforcing use of an EOL JDK, so these fresh thinking dev teams will not likely encounter problems moving to prod.<br>

I'm deploying only on JDKs >=6 since three years now,<br>
and IMHO new projects going to consider Infinispan in this timeframe<br>
are probably in a design/early development fase, almost everyone<br>
will be ready to deploy something stable only after the JDK5 will be phased out.<br>
<br>
The main "market" for this kind of libraries is enterprise, which wants support<br>
and will probably refrain from using Java5, at least for new deployments.<br>
